WEBVTT >> A GOOD MONDAY TO YOU, I'M METEOROLOGIST CINDY FITZGIBBON, DAY FIVE IT APPEARS OF OUR HEATWAVE. WE'VE BEEN AT OR ABOVE 90 DEGREES IN BOSTON SINCE THURSDAY AND THE HEAT IS GOING TO KEEP ON COMING. IN FACT, AS YOU GO THROUGH THE MONTH OF JULY WE HAVE HAD NINE DAYS AT OR ABOVE 90 DEGREES, TODAY WILL MAKE TEN AND WE ARE ON OUR WAY CHASE THAT GO RECORD. THE MOST THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD WAS 15, BACK IN 1994. NOT QUITE THERE YET BUT WE'RE TACKING ON ANOTHER ONE TODAY, 90 IN BOSTON, HOTTER NORTH AND WEST THROUGH THE MERRIMACK VALLEY METRO WEST, LOWER 90s, 94 NASHUA AND LAWRENCE, SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE GOING TO HOLD THE TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE 80s ALONG THE SOUTH COAST AND THE CAPE BUT THAT SOUTHERLY WIND, OH, WE'RE BRINGING IN A LOT OF HUMIDITY, SO THIS ONE WILL FEEL LIKE HERE AS WE GET TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON AROUND 3:00, LOOK AT THE HEAT INDEX, FROM SPRINGFIELD OUT TO HARTFORD AND THIS IS WHERE THAT HEAT COULD BE DANGEROUS AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE DO HAVE HEAT ADVISORIES OUT THIS WAY JUST TAKE IT EASY WHEN THAT HEAT AND HUMIDITY ARE SO HIGH, MAKES IT TOUGH ON YOUR BODY, SO TAKE IT EASY OUT THERE TODAY, ALSO, WE'RE WATCHING A FRONTAL BOUNDARY OUT TO THE WEST, AND AS THIS PUNCHES INTO THIS HOT AND STICKY AIR, IT IS GOING TO ALLOW SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP, AND THE MOST INTENSE STORMS, ACTUALLY, DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND WEST, YOU GET INTO THIS YELLOW COLOR HERE SOUTH AND WEST OF NEW YORK CITY, BUT EVEN SO STORM PREDICTION CENTER EYEING WESTERN PARTS OF NEW ENGLAND AND WITH A MARGINAL RISK FOR SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON AND THE PRIMARY IMPACTS WOULD BE THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND A LOT OF LIFTING, DOWNPOURS AND STORMS GETTING INTO OUR AREA, HAVE A LOW RISK FOR HAIL TODAY UNLIKE WHAT WE SAW OVER THE WEEKEND. LET ME STEP YOU THROUGH THE TIMELINE. BY 5:00 THIS AFTERNOON THE STORMS ARE GETTING INTO WESTERN MOST MASSACHUSETTS. AND THEN THEY ARE GOING TO RAPIDLY GO ON EASTWARD SO BETWEEN 6:00 AND 7:00 THIS EVENING IS WHEN THE STORMS ARE PROBABLY GETTING INTO THE WORCESTER AREA, AND FROM THERE, THEY ARE GOING TO RACE QUICKLY TOWARDS BOSTON BUT THROUGH 8:00 IN THE EVENING, THEY ARE WEAKENING SO WE DESPERATELY NEED RAIN AND SOME OF US WILL GET RAIN OUT OF THESE STORMS BUT AS THEY CONTINUE TO MARCH SOUTH AND EASTWARD THEY DRY UP SO I AM NOT ALL THAT OPTIMISTIC THAT WE GET WIDESPREAD RAINFALL ACROSS EASTERNMOST MASSACHUSETTS. WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF THAT OUT ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE BUT LOOK AT THIS BY MIDNIGHT STORMS ARE WINDING DOWN AND THEN OVERNIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO DRY OUT COMPLETELY. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT, UPPER 60'S TO AROUND 70 DEGREES, SO STILL UNCOMFORTABLE FOR SLEEPING. AND THIS FRONT, ONCE IT GOES BY, WINDS WILL SHIFT OUT OF THE WEST AND THAT IS GOING TO BRING IN LESS HUMID AIR SO ALTHOUGH THE HUMIDITY IS COMING WAY UP TODAY, STARTS TO STEP DOWN TOMORROW AND DOWN EVEN MORE SO BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK SO THE HUMIDITY IS DROPPING. THE TEMPERATURES ARE NOT. NOTICE TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE HOTTER THAN TODAY. WITH THE WESTERLY WIND, I THINK WE'LL JUMP INTO THE LOW 90s, 93, 94 BOSTON, LAWRENCE AND MARSHFIELD, AND ON THE CAPE TOMORROW, 90 DEGREES, SO THE HEAT KEEPS COMING. TACKING ON MORE OF THE 90-DEGREE DAYS, A SEA BREEZE ON WEDNESDAY SO COOLER AT THE BEACHES BUT
